For too many years I read everything I could in every women's fitness magazine about weight loss. I was ALWAYS looking for the secret, that key that would let me lose that last bit of weight I wanted to lose.

I kept thinking I would find the key, that one thing that would work. What I didn't realize for far too long is... there is NO key to weight loss or great health.

Losing weight is about creating a calorie deficit—period. Getting into good shape is about moving your body consistently day in day out most days of the week for most of your life.

 Building healthy habits in the kitchen is about buying more fresh foods and planning colorful meals, day in and day out, every month and making that a habit. As well as, slowly getting the processed foods out of your life. It's eating real food to fuel your body day in day out.

Taking care of yourself and your health takes work. It takes time and dedication. In my opinion, it is the most important job you will ever have. You are a role model for your kids as well as others you might not even know look up to you! You may even inspire family to take better care of themselves.

The secret is.... eating lots of veggies, moving your body daily, strength training, walking, drinking water, getting enough sleep, and loving your family and friends!
